I'm running a fairly fresh lenny installed from the small cd installer
using network package access for the install.

It came up with the default xfce4 X11 desktop.

I don't know enough about debian package naming conventions to know
what I need to install to be able to compile emacs for X.

Assuming that you have a suitable deb-src line in your sources.list, you
can simply use "apt-get build-dep emacs22" to install the needed
packages. You also may want to install librsvg2-dev and libdbus-1-dev
for SVG and Dbus support that is new in Emacs 23.
